Steven Barrett: How Blair Broke Britain’s Legal System
Barrister Steven Barrett joins Liz Truss to explain why he believes Britain’s legal system is broken — and why the problem goes far deeper than bad laws. In this explosive conversation, Barrett argues that Britain now has too many laws, badly written legislation, overmighty regulators, an unaccountable bureaucracy, and a constitutional settlement reshaped by Blair-era reforms. From Ofcom and “due impartiality” to the Human Rights Act, ECHR, EU law, the Lord Chancellor, the Supreme Court, the civil service and the power of unelected officials, this is a forensic discussion about who really governs Britain. Liz and Steven discuss whether Parliament has lost control, why Conservative governments failed to reverse the Blair/Brown settlement, how regulators and quangos wield power, why business leaders are afraid to speak out, and what a future reforming government would need to do to restore democratic accountability. Is Britain suffering from managed decline — or can the system still be fixed?

Jailed for a Tweet | Britain’s Free Speech Crisis | The Liz Truss Show with Lucy Connolly
Lucy Connolly joins The Liz Truss Show to discuss her imprisonment, the state of free speech in Britain, two-tier justice, policing, Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham, immigration, the Human Rights Act, protest, the “far right” label, and why she believes ordinary people need to start speaking out. After being jailed over a tweet, Lucy has become one of the most recognisable voices in Britain’s free speech debate. In this interview, she reflects on prison, the courts, the police, media coverage, public support, and her new book, A Tweet Too Far. This is a conversation about more than one case. It is about whether Britain still protects free speech, whether justice is being applied equally, and whether the silent majority is prepared to push back.

Bridget McKenzie: Australia Is Following Britain Into Disaster | The Liz Truss Show
Liz Truss is joined by Australian Senator Bridget McKenzie for a powerful conversation on the crisis facing Britain, Australia and the wider Anglosphere. Bridget argues that Australia is now facing many of the same problems Britain has already experienced: soaring government debt, mass migration, institutional capture, net zero policies imposed on rural communities, attacks on free speech, and a political class increasingly detached from ordinary people. They discuss Anthony Albanese’s government, the rise of anti-establishment politics, the future of the right, the impact of net zero on farmers, the importance of Western civilisation, and why family, community and national heritage must become central to the conservative fightback. Is Australia following Britain into decline — or are both countries finally waking up? Subscribe for more conversations on freedom, democracy, conservatism and the future of the West.
